Piece Description

Nov. 14: The following is a rush transcript from Thursday's special prime time edition of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Regis: We welcome into the hot seat this week two dapper lads from Chicago, Adam and Matty. Now I understand you're both film critics? Adam: Yes. Matty: I'm 25. Regis: I see, and, I suppose you get this question all the time, but how many movies do you see in a month? Adam: Well, on average, about twelve or thirteen. Depends on the time of the year. Matty: Two. Regis: I see, and what film are you reviewing this week? Matty: No idea. Adam: "Slumdog Millionaire", the latest from "Trainspotting" director Danny Boyle, about a young man from the slums of Mumbai who makes an unexpected run on the Hindi-version of this very show. Regis: Fascinating. Can you favor us with just a taste of the review? Matty: Well, you know, I'm an actor... Adam: You'll just have to listen to the show to find out, Regis, and be sure to stay tuned for our always popular Listener Feedback and Massacre Theatre segments, as well a special segment featuring Matt Singer from IFC News and Tasha Robinson from the AV Club, who join us in confessing our Top 5 Movie Man-crushes. Regis: Sounds like fun. Do I make your lists? Matty: Absolutely. You're my number #1, Mr. Trebek. Adam: We're sorry for wasting your time. Music this week courtesy of Super XX Man.
